Seattle Seahawks Preview
Seattle is led by quarterback Sam Darnold, who has 3,703 passing yards with 24 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The run game is paced by Kenneth Walker III with 879 rushing yards and five touchdowns, with Zach Charbonnet adding nine rushing touchdowns. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been the top target with 104 catches for 1,637 yards and 10 touchdowns, and Seattle’s offense is at its best when it stays balanced and turns drives into touchdowns instead of field goals.
On defense, Leonard Williams leads the pass rush with seven sacks, and Ernest Jones IV leads the team with 116 tackles while also having five interceptions. Seattle has been able to win by forcing turnovers and getting the offense extra possessions. On the injury report, Coby Bryant and Riq Woolen are questionable, and Derick Hall is suspended.
Carolina Panthers Preview
Carolina is led by quarterback Bryce Young, who has thrown for 2,691 yards with 21 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Rico Dowdle has been the workhorse on the ground with 1,007 rushing yards and six touchdowns, and the Panthers lean on that run game to set up play-action. Tetairoa McMillan leads the receiving group with 65 catches for 924 yards and seven touchdowns, giving Young a reliable target when Carolina needs big plays.

Defensively, Christian Rozeboom leads the team with 105 tackles, and Derrick Brown has five sacks up front. In the secondary, Jaycee Horn has five interceptions. Carolina will need to tackle better and create takeaways to keep Seattle from stringing together long drives. On the injury report, Robert Rochell is questionable, while Ikem Ekwonu and Tershawn Wharton are listed as inactive.
Seahawks vs Panthers Prediction
Seattle has the edge at quarterback and has been more consistent week to week. Carolina can stay in this game with its running game and play-action, and if the defense forces a turnover or two, but Seattle’s ability to create big plays through Smith-Njigba and generate takeaways on defense gives the Seahawks the advantage they need to win on the road.
